Quebec held its biggest draw of the year, inviting 365 immigration candidates to apply for permanent selection on September 24.
Invitations went to people who had filed an expression of interest through the Arrima portal.
Candidates invited by Quebec’s Ministry of Immigration, Francization, and Integration (MIFI) needed a validated offer of employment in the province to receive an invitation.
Among those invited were people who were staying in Quebec as a diplomat, consular officer, a representative for the United Nations or any intergovernmental organization that carries out operations in Quebec.
MIFI also invited Arrima candidates who did not meet the invitation criteria but who, in the Minister’s opinion, would be able to contribute to Quebec’s prosperity.
Quebec’s immigration process
Quebec has more power over its own immigration system than any other province.
The Government of Quebec is responsible for selecting economic-class immigrants such as skilled workers and entrepreneurs. The immigration process is managed by Quebec’s immigration ministry, MIFI.
